A passage to Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's fiction

Would like to get a hold of Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's recently released collected (?) stories, as I'm always interested in writers of plot-driven narratives that translate well into film (and in how that happens and what's gained or lost in the process), but as it's not yet on library shelf picked up a copy of her Booker-winning 1975 novel, Heat & Dust (even though a recent intelligent review of her story collection made little of H&D, oh well). This novel treats the familiar theme of English officials and business-people living in India and adjusting, or not, to the style of life and the conventions of the native Indians - but the original twist in RPJ's work is the focus on the women (Graham Greene did likewise in some of his African-set fiction). The novel is a little rough going at the outset, as there are a couple of separate timelines introduced abruptly, but as we settle into the plot we see that, as announced in the first sentence, it's about a woman, Olivia, he left her civil-servant husband, Douglas, to marry a local village or community leader, something like a governor or mayor. The story is told by Olivia's granddaughter, who has just (ca the time of composition, 1975) inherited a cache of letters from Olivia, and thus visits India to see what else she can learn about her grandmother's life and fate. Some of her experience is told through diary entries; others parts, told in direct narration - so there are many narrative currents, sometimes cross-currents. The obvious point of comparison will always be Forster, and we can't expect much English fiction to stand up to the standard EMF set in Passage, but RPJ is extremely intelligent as well as knowledgeable (the Jhabvala was her husband's name - a long and seemingly happy marriage that would have exposed her, a European by birth, to many of the experiences and prejudices faced and endured by Olivia), so will see how well this well-received novel stands on its own.
